Thinking about upgrading your commercial cleaning equipment? The Section 179 tax deduction could help your business invest in equipment today while reducing your 2026 federal taxable income.
Benefits Your Bottom Line: Section 179 allows eligible businesses to deduct qualifying equipment costs in the year the equipment is placed in service instead of depreciating those costs over several years.
Finance Your Equipment Before December 31 and Still Explore the Tax Benefits
Qualifying financed equipment may still be eligible for the deduction. One of the most valuable features of Section 179 is that eligible equipment does not necessarily have to be paid off during the year to qualify.
When qualifying equipment is purchased using financing, the deduction may be based on its eligible purchase cost rather than only the payments made during the year.
Financing also allows you to spread out your payments while enjoying increased productivity with newer equipment. We offer multiple financing plans to meet your budget and your needs.

With growers facing rising operational costs, a focus on recycling of materials, and as methyl bromide and other pesticides and herbicides are being phased out, forward-thinking companies are looking for an effective alternative to sterilize soil, control disease pathogens, nematodes, insects and weeds. Why?
- Because healthy, insect-free, and disease-free plants produce higher yields of vegetables and flowers in less time, reaching the market sooner and resulting in faster sales.
Safe, Clean & Effective. Soil sterilization is an essential part of growing plants as well as reusing or selling media. And one of the most effective ground sterilization solutions to achieve this is with something surprisingly simple: steam.
- Using a commercial soil steamer is a highly effective way to prepare soil in your greenhouses, high tunnels, or open fields for planting.
- Using steam rids the substrate of fungi, diseases, invasive species, weed seeds, and other harmful biological materials. Using steam before planting gives you larger, healthier plants with improved yields.
Multiple Media Uses. We recommend the Sioux Steam Flo, an easy-to-use portable steam generator designed for soil sterilization in both nurseries and greenhouses. It’s an excellent soil sterilizer for bench soil, potting soil, propagating sand, and ground beds inside the greenhouse for vegetables, plus ground beds outdoors for flowers and vegetables, as well as nursery stock flats, pots, and benches. The Steam Flo soil sterilizer increases crop returns by producing “clean” soil, free from pathogens.
- The Steam Flo is simple to operate. Just level the Steam Flo with provided supplies, attach a garden hose, fill the fuel tank and connect the electrical source.
High Performance. Proven Results. The Steam Flo outputs 370-845 lbs. of steam per hour, and produces quality steam in only 15-20 minutes from a cold start. After initial startup, steam is available continuously for unlimited time periods.
- The unit can sterilize a 5′ x 50′ bench in about two hours and reduces chemical sterilizer usage.
- It can be mounted on a trailer with 15″ pneumatic wheels and pin hitch. It can be towed by a tractor to the location, indoors or out.
- If you need extra heat for short periods of time, you can easily connect the Sioux Steam Flo to a steam line for perimeter heat in hotbeds or plastic houses.
Heavy Duty Construction. The Steam Flo soil sterilizer is constructed of 1/4″ plate steel with brass and black iron fittings. Safety features include steam pressure relief valve, pressure control and automatic water feeder. The Sioux Steam Flo is built to ASME code and is National Board registered.

Are you paying for undercarriage corrosion?
Whether it’s a company car or a heavy-duty commercial truck, there’s a hidden part of your vehicle and constantly under attack: the underbelly. Why should you care? Because the structural and operational integrity of your undercarriage directly impacts vehicle safety, performance, and even long-term value!
Unfortunately, in the rush of doing a vehicle wash, it’s commonplace to skip this crucial cleaning step. But when you do, it leaves expensive systems—like the brake lines, suspension, and exhaust—exposed to relentless corrosion. And repair and replacement costs can rapidly climb into the thousands of dollars!
4 Sneaky Undercarriage Corrosives
1. Damage Scratcher
Gravel, rocks, glass and general road debris bounce up into your undercarriage and constantly scrape and chip away at the protective coatings and paint. Once the bare metal is exposed, rust immediately sets in.
2. Sticky Sponge
When they stick to your undercarriage, thick dirt and mud they act like sponges. They trap and hold corrosive elements like moisture, salt and other road chemicals right up against the metal, leading to extremely fast rust spots forming in those areas.
3. Gooey Softener
Oil, grease, and other chemicals you pick up on the road cling to everything, and can rapidly ruin the non-metal parts underneath, causing them to crack or soften and fail early. This includes bushings, rubber seals and plastic wiring insulation.
4. Rust Helper
Driving at the higher elevations where there’s ice and snow? Road salt doesn’t just sit there; it’s an aggressive chemical that makes metal rust much faster. Even worse, the clingy salt takes a long time to break down, waiting for the next bit of water to restart the corrosive process over and over again. If that’s not bad enough, salt actively draws moisture out of the air and holds it tightly against your vehicle’s metal parts, constantly soaking your frame in salt water, making sure the corrosion never gets a chance to stop.
